Experimental study of uniaxial compressive mechanical properties of rough jointed rock masses based on 3D printing

Abstract: Roughness and inclination are important factors affecting the strength and deformation properties of jointed rock masses. Serrated joint specimens with varying joint roughness coefficient (JRC) and inclination angle were manufactured by 3D printing technique and cement mortar material. Then, uniaxial compression tests were performed for serrated joint specimens. The results show that when inclination angle equals 0° or 90°, the stress–strain curves of serrated joint specimens with various JRC values are basically the same and display a similar variation trend as that of the complete specimen, hence JRC presents a very little impact. When inclination angle varies from 30° to 60°, the stress–strain curves display a significant difference for various JRC values. Both the compressive strength and peak strain increase with the JRC value. With the increase in JRC value, the stress–strain curve exhibits a stress drop point, and with the further increase in JRC value, the stress drop point obviously delays or disappears directly. Variation in uniaxial compressive strength and deformation modulus with inclination angle is approximately U-shape for serrated joint specimens and displays typical anisotropic characteristics. Due to the variation in inclination angles and JRC values, failure modes of serrated joint specimens under uniaxial compression varies from splitting tensile or shear slip failure to compound tensile and shear failure. Rough serrated joint has a strengthening effect on the resistance ability to vertical load, and large roughness can effectively slow down the shear slip failure of jointed rock masses.
